NINJAGO: The Yellow Ninja (Book 1 - The Way of the Ninja)

The Shurikens of Ice

Night...

The Ninja and Sensei Wu are traveling through the Frozen Wastelands as they sail across the icy glaciers on a boat they rented from a nearby town while they head to the next location of the next Golden Weapon, the Shurikens of Ice.

"I spy something...white." Jay said, looking around the glaciers as he passed the time by playing a game of 'Eye Spy' while Cole is focused on steering the ship.

Cole groaned in annoyance, since all around he saw was white. "Could you try to be quiet for once? This ain't easy." He turns to his blue-clad friend, pulling his eyes away from the horizon.

Jay furrows his eyebrows at him for a moment before the ship shook when it collided into something as he braced himself on the railing. Cole then quickly turned his attention back to steering the ship and focused on where he was going.

Jay groaned, then he quipped, "I spy something broken."

At the bow of the ship, Kai and Zane were keeping a lookout with Wu, but Kai was shivering from the freezing cold as he rubbed his hands together while trying to keep himself warm. "Man, it's freezing out here." Kai shivered before he turned to Zane when he noticed he wasn't fazed by the cold weather. "How are you not cold?"

"I guess I am not bothered by the frozen temperature, since I am the Master of Ice." Zane simply answered.

"Heh, that makes sense." Kai said in understanding.

Alisa then came out from the lower deck carrying a tray filled with cups of hot tea and a teapot in her hands. "I hope you boys don't mind, I made some hot herbal tea to warm us up." Alisa offered, holding out the tray for her friends.

"Oh, good." Kai sighed as he's grateful that his friend brought her a hot drink. "I am a little thirsty." He stated as he took a cup of hot beverage from the tray.

"Thank you, Alisa." Zane said gratefully as he took a cup as well. "That is very kind of you."

"It's the least I could do for you guys." Alisa replied with a smile as Jay walked up to them and took a cup of tea as well.

The Lightning Ninja takes a sip of the herbal tea Alisa made and lets out a calming sigh. "Man, you make the best tea." He said in a relaxed tone.

"Thank you, it's part of a family recipe." The yellow-clad ninja giggles as her cheeks flushed slightly pink under her mask.

Kai takes a drink of his tea before he asked something, "If Sensei knows the way to the next Golden Weapon, why isn't he steering the ship? We've been drifting aimlessly for miles." He complained as the Ninja turned towards Sensei Wu, who is meditating on the ship's figurehead in a crane stance.

"Sensei's wisdom is beyond my own." Zane spoke up.

"Well, Sensei is our guide, and we are the ones who have to make the journey on our own." Alisa answered. "After all, we are the chosen ones to protect the Golden Weapons."

Kai rolled his brown amber eyes with a sigh, "Great, at least you're the only one who understands that."

"The most powerful move in Spinjitzu can only be accomplished when all five elements are combine." Wu stated wisely as he turned to his students before he jumped and twirled around, then stopped in a pushing stance on the deck. "Earth..." Wu starts before he twirls around and did another stance with his arms stretching out behind him. "Ice..." He then twirls again and did a teapot stance with his right hand out as if he had steam coming out of his hand. "Fire..." He spins yet and did another stance, raising his arms up to the left. "Wind..." He added before he spun once more and did a crane stance yet again. "Lightning..."
